Potters Bar, Railway town in Hertsmere, England
Potters Bar extends along the Great North Road with two commercial centers at Darkes Lane and High Street, serving a population of 23,325 residents.
The town's development accelerated after 1850 when the Great Northern Railway opened a station, transforming the linear settlement into a substantial suburban area.
The Potters Bar Museum, located at the Wyllyotts Centre, displays local artifacts, including Roman pottery and remnants of the 1916 Zeppelin L31 crash.
The railway station connects to London King's Cross while the A1 road and M25 motorway provide direct access to surrounding regions.
